I keep forgetting about Emperor of the Fading Suns, it's been so long since I've played. I agree, it had a pretty good system as well, although I never managed to successfully invade a planet (never strong enough to build enough troops).

I like the idea of adding facilities to the planet map. This way you could drop some fast, hard-hitting troops on a planet, have them destroy all the mining facilities and the resupply depot and pull back. You could cripple a planet's industry without having to use those smart bombs ( I never liked those things).
